Summary0005572: G3 uniforms and customized insignias texture collision
DescriptionWhile testing our unit's new and customized insignias we created, the insignias seem to be colliding with the textures of the shoes of the G3 uniforms - sometimes the insignias "replace" the shoe texture, sometimes they disappear entirely.

Also, this issue randomly changes when respawning. Meaning, when first starting the mission the insignias appear fine. After respawning at least once, the texture issue appears. Sometimes when respawning the third time, it gets fixed but then collides again.

Is it happening with only RHS launched?
(0010456)
ranger024   
2020-04-03 15:07   
Yes, we tried all combinations of loading mods:
1. All other mods but without RHS
2. Only RHS
3. Vanilla only

The insignias work well on vanilla uniforms. The issue happens specifically on the G3 uniforms.

And how are you respawning? Are you using some vanilla function?
(0010458)
ranger024   
2020-04-03 20:11   
The only custom thing that happens on respawn is we listen to the respawn event and we run a script that assigns the insignias.

reyhard   
2020-04-03 20:33   
I guess script is fault then? Could you share it perhaps?
(0010460)
ranger024

Of course. Here is the script that defines which insignia to give to each player by their Steam UID:

/* United States Players Array */
usPlayers = ["76561198002438570"];

/* Israel Players Array */
ilPlayers = ["76561198065837037"];

{

  if((getPlayerUID _x) in usPlayers) then
  {
    _x setObjectTextureGlobal [3, "\tfwp_insignias\data\us_flag.paa"];
  };

  if((getPlayerUID _x) in ilPlayers) then
  {
    _x setObjectTextureGlobal [3, "\tfwp_insignias\data\il_flag.paa"];
  };

} forEach allPlayers;



And here is the script of the event handler that enables it on respawn:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//////// Initialize The Insignia Arrays Handler Script /////////
addMissionEventHandler ["EntityRespawned",
{
    params ["_entity", "_corpse"];
    execVM "tfwp_scripts\insignias\flag_insignias.sqf";
}];

How is that script initialized?
(0010462)
ranger024   
2020-04-03 22:36   
We have two files:

The first script block is in a file called "flag_insignia.sqf".

Then, the second script block is what initialized in-game and is in a file called "initServer.sqf".

so is setobjectTextureGlobal working fine for you?
(0010464)
ranger024

It works fine at the start of the mission, but after at least one respawn you can't see the insignias of the other players and vise versa.

do you have script console enabled? Did you tried i.e. executing in console i.e.
cursorObject setObjectTextureGlobal [3, "\tfwp_insignias\data\il_flag.paa"]; or getObjectTextures cursorObject to see, what textures are applied? I tried it on dedicated server + 2 clients and couldn't reproduce this issue although I was using bit different method for ID differentiation (_foreachindex) since obviously all my clients had same steam ID.

We tried cursorObject setObjectTextureGlobal [3, "\tfwp_insignias\data\il_flag.paa"]; and it works.

Then after a couple of respawns my friend couldn't see my insignia anymore, but I could see mine and his as well, so he tried getObjectTextures cursorObject on my playable unit and it returned:

["rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry2\data\gen3_rgr_co.paa","rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry2\data\merrells_co.paa","rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry2\data\mechanix_green_co.paa",""]

The fourth element (index 3) in the array is the insignia one and it's returned empty.

When he could see my insignia, it returned:

["rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry2\data\gen3_rgr_co.paa","rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry2\data\merrells_co.paa","rhsusf\addons\rhsusf_infantry2\data\mechanix_green_co.paa","tfwp_insignias\data\us_flag.paa"]

Okay, that sounds like a script issue, not asset one. I would recommend you to head to forum or discord i.e.
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/forum/154-arma-3-mission-editing-scripting/ [^]

Main issue that I see is fact that server is applying textures to all players everytime someone respawns. setObjectTextureGlobal is transmitting change to all clients so I guess network is spammed with unnecessary data. This, plus fact you are using spawned script (execVM is spawning code, either call or putting whole code in EH could help there), might result in such desync.
